@@brownie43212 Y'know, I had this same discussion when talking about Cyberpunk, comparing it to other games, at the time they called it "Maybe they'll pull a NMS" And you know what? They didn't. Not even NMS "Pulled a NMS" it's all in the dumb narrative of the gamer's crowd that loves rage bait and redemption stories. The truth is that Studio Trigger pulled a "NMS" for Cyberpunk by making the game interesting after the shitstorm, and people pretended not to see the same nitpicks that they wasted hours and hours agruing about because they were supposed to think that the game was "Now fixed". People spent hundreds of hours whining about copy-pasted NPCs, fire up the game now, in my last run I meet 3 copies of the same NPC on the first 20 steps out of V's apartment at the start of the game. And this is just an example. But sure, continue with your crusade, we'll meet again in a few years, when you'll claim that TES6 can't meet the hights of Starfield and Fallout 76, with the rest of the crowsd.

Bethesda was never about a seamless experience. None of their games have it and I don't expect it to happen ever. There will always be a loading screen and I know it even before I buy any Bethesda game. They are just built that way. It is like saying "Ubisoft games will always have chests and collectibles spread across the map". But what every Bethesda game has is the feeling of being full. There are always things to do and the customisation is really deep. The level of interaction is superb. See a door? you can open and enter. See a bed? you can sleep. See a couch? You can sit. See a safe? You can unlock? See a person? You can talk to em. See ANY DAMN THING and you can interact with it. The journey in the game is yours and you are in control. You meet people, talk to them and sometimes become a part of their story. Does Starfield have all of this? Yes!. ( Yeah I admit that some quests are very basic and simple but let's be honest...even SOME Skyrim quests were utter boredom.)

[@derialnmau]

Thank for listeing to our feedback about the game. I hope Emil was not involved in the quest writing this time. Please no "chosen one" staff again. BTW the color palette is terrible. Bethesda please check the top 10 mods for Starfield, one of them is the fix for your choice of a color pelette. Please admit that your Starfield game design is broken and fix it. Currently your game is 10% great, 30% okay and 60% bad. Here is the free of charge plan how fix Starfield: 1. Add more meaningful content and quests, Bounty hunters questline is a good start but it is taking you too long to add it. More quests within one landing zone please. We do not enjoy flying for a book to another planet system. 2. Cut of 90% of the planets and star systems, and fill up the rest with non repeating locations, add a unique landmark location to each big planet, landmark loacation sould give a skill point as a reward. 3. Give us the possibility to fly in our ships on planets, take off and land on planets like it is done in No Mans Sky and Outlaws, do not tell us that your engine cannot do it.

Yep, that's why it's so incredible they went for a space game. They were going to have to compromise the moment they settled on the setting. Bethesda maps are little, a fraction of a region, a dot if compared to a continent, invisible compared to a planet, even a scaled-down one. For them to decide to go for a space game it meant they had to scrap all they knew about map design. Whatever solution it was going to be controversial.
